I was very lucky that 10 years ago quite by accident I discovered a new genre of music that I love passionately. It is a very rich field with a huge amount of material written and performed mostly by musicians in their 30s and 40s, although some have been going since the early 90s. It suits me better as a mature adult. Rock music was a big part of my adolescence and 20s and 30s, but I don't

Diminished would be a better word. Regarding a legacy, there's something to be said for ending a career, if not at your peak, at least not after you have been a long time in decline. I don't like to see actors who were known for their youthful beauty and charm but are now older and no longer attractive up on the screen, unless they have managed to transform themselves into a diff

Try to imagine if you were a tireless workhorse like Mick, running a massive company, and your business partner is a shambolic heroin addict>>alcoholic who wants an equal say in every management decision you want to execute. After 10-15 years of this, wouldn't you be screaming for your freedom?

It's amazing that none of Bill's thousands of hookups, many of whom surely must have been underage, have come forward. Again, not to ever defend an abuser of women, but considering the Stones' longevity, and considering the past excesses of other rock bands in this regard, eg Led Zeppelin, I would say that on the whole, the Stones treated women well. The fact that three of Mi

QuoteHis Majesty QuoteBliss One thing you can say to Mick's credit, and the rest of the RS as well, except Brian - no one has ever come forward and said they had been abused. This isn't true actually. Brian's recurring violence towards women has been well documented and he's been rightly called out for it. He clearly had issues that needing dealing with, but perhaps k

I liked L'Wren's dresses very much, although they only suited women with a similar build to her own (she was 183 cm and likely weighed no more than 55 kg). But the stagewear she designed for Mick..not too much. Too Liberace. Her philosophy was 'More is more, not less is more'. To me, nothing will surpass the stage clothes they had on the Voodoo Lounge tour.

Mick can never write a song about the death of L'Wren because he was responsible for it - by not helping her with her serious depression, by not keeping her business from going under, and by hooking up with his latest girlfriend three weeks before L'Wren's suicide. The last thing he would want to do is relive all that.

Controversial opinions follow. Yes and no. Due to his deteriorating mental state, Brian was a big liability long before they dismissed him. Allen Klein opened their eyes to the possibility of making a lot more money than previously considered, but they ended up losing the rights to their entire catalogue prior to 1970 to him. I will forever remain a big Mick Taylor fan and think he could have
